"So much respect for Jay Z tonight. Headlining and his encore was a tribute to Chester Bennington . The closest I'll get to hearing him live," shared a second.

"Night 1 was amazing! Jay Z ending the night with a tribute to Chester and then singing numb was perfect! He was defo my highlight."

And: "Jay Z just done a tribute to Chester and played numb/encore and I cried hard."

As well as Encore and other classics, Jay performed a number of new hits from his latest album.

Chester was laid to rest last month in a private ceremony with his close family and friends.

The ceremony took place near his home in Palos Verdes, California, in the beautiful South Coast Botanic Garden.

Chester's musician friends were given the opportunity to play one last time for the Linkin Park rocker, by way of a stage and full band set-up - including a drum kit - that had been placed in the gardens.
